Rating: Summary: Whitewater OD Review: This is the "Absolutely, positively, without a doubt everything you want to know about Whitewater" book. I really do not think there is one shred of info left out, the Independent Prosecutor would be hard pressed to put together such a detailed and complete history. I doubt even the combined recollection of all the people involved know as much about Whitewater as what is in this book. That should give you a pretty good idea of what the book is about, the author does through in a little about the campaign, travel gate, Vince Foster and a few other early Clinton scandals, but the true heart of the book is the Whitewater investigation.The book does not flow as quickly as his last book "Den of Thieves" nor is it as gripping. It is, however, a very well constructed and researched book. If you are interested in this particular issue then I have not come across a book with a better non-partisan telling of this story. If you are looking for an overall detailed account of the election or the first four years in the Clinton White House I would suggest the Woodward books "The Agenda" and "The Choice" and the Elizabeth Drew book "Showdown: The Struggle between the Gingrich Congress and the Clinton White House".
Rating: Summary: Too much detail but overall very informative. Review: When I opened this book I was hoping for all the juicy details on the Presidents
dirty deeds in Ark. In some ways I got what I wanted and I didn't. The book has a ring of truth and fairness about it. On the one hand Stewart
lets the President off on the Whitewater charges but spills the beans on all
the other dirty little secrets. Those who want to see Mr Clinton fall will be
disappointed with this writing and those want to see the President exeronated
will also be disappointed. But then again the truth is usually disappointing.
Read the book, it's a good read. But be prepared to wade through a lot of
detail to get to the truth.
